Kylie’s love and passion for her job comes from a lifetime of sailing and creativity. Growing up in her dad's sail loft in South Africa, Kylie was afforded the freedom to learn and play amongst rolls of material which inspired her to study a degree in Fashion Design. But she was eager to see the world outside of South Africa, and having a very sailing-orientated upbringing, embarked on a career in yachting.
Since joining the industry over 6 years ago, Kylie has worked on busy dual-season charter yachts like S/Y ASOLARE and S/Y MELEK. She spent some time working on large motor yachts, but opted to return to sail as this is where her heart lies, and she feels more at home with freedom and skill of sailing.
In her spare time, Kylie likes to do anything active and creative. She focuses her time on nurturing indoor plants, and (hopes to own a flower farm one day), mental heath, nutrition, and hosting the perfect cocktail party!
Kylie thrives on the satisfaction of her guests and puts her heart into all the small details; she will always go the extra mile to give S/Y TWIZZLE's guests an experience that stands above the rest!

Oliver ‘Ollie’ Luscombe grew up on the south Devonshire coast, Where the call of the sea started at an early age. Influenced by summers in France foraging and in local markets with his grandmother he took to the heat of the kitchen at the age of 16.
Training under Master Chefs of Great Britain, Michelin-starred chefs and even an ex-royal head chef, it was not long before Ollie took his vast experience to the high seas. Since late 2006, he has been delighting guests on super yachts including the classic M/Y TALITHA and is happiest showcasing his love of food and local ingredients to S/Y TWIZZLE’s guests.
Other things that make him smile just as widely are his wife, Sarah, his young daughter Poppy (which will account for him loudly singing Disney songs in the galley), trying to hit a golf ball as straight as he can, and activities based on and around the water like kitesurfing, paddleboarding, and cycling.

Born and raised in Whangārei, New Zealand, Jackson spent most of his younger years in and around the ocean – his father taking him out freediving and sailing as soon as he was old enough, sharing the same interest and passion for the sea.
Starting as a child, Jackson raced yachts of all sizes right up until he left home for Auckland to begin his career in the Royal New Zealand Navy as an Engineer. But, after almost 8 years of service for his country, Jackson hankered to return to his sailing roots and joined the yachting industry.
New Zealand will always remain his home, but Jackson is excited for the travel and adventures to come as part of the professional crew onboard S/Y TWIZZLE.
